👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Crostini
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Remove from oven and gently rub the top of each crostini with a garlic clove while still warm.
Step 2: Prepare the Toppings
- Slice the peaches into thin wedges (no need to peel if the skin is soft).
- Tear the prosciutto into smaller, bite-sized strips.
- Gently tear the burrata into chunks or scoop into small portions.
Step 3: Assemble the Crostini
- Place a spoonful of burrata on each toasted bread slice.
- Top with a slice or two of peach.
- Add a ribbon of prosciutto.
- Drizzle with honey or a balsamic glaze (optional but recommended).
- Garnish with torn fresh basil, flaky salt, and cracked pepper.
🍽️ Serving Tips
- Serve immediately so the crostini stays crispy.
- Pair with chilled rosé, prosecco, or a light Sauvignon Blanc.
- For a full spread, add marinated olives, nuts, and a green salad to the table.
🔁 Optional Variations
- Grilled Peaches: For extra flavor, lightly grill or pan-sear peach slices.
- Herbed Honey: Infuse honey with thyme or rosemary for a gourmet touch.
- Add Nuts: Top with toasted pine nuts or crushed pistachios for crunch.
- Vegan Version: Use plant-based burrata and omit prosciutto.
🧠 Pro Tips for Perfect Crostini
- Use day-old baguette for a crispier base.
- Don’t over-toast—crispy, not rock hard!
- Burrata is best served at room temperature to enhance its creamy texture.
- If burrata is unavailable, substitute with fresh mozzarella or whipped ricotta.
🧊 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Crostini Base: Toast baguette slices a day in advance. Store in an airtight container.
- Peach & Prosciutto Mix: Slice just before serving to keep peaches fresh.
- Burrata: Drain and keep chilled until ready to use.
Note: Assembled crostini should be eaten fresh. They don’t store well once dressed.
